Ok, so trying to figure out where I'm going wrong here. Here's what I did so far:

  • Reported 1098-T on ex-wife return
  • Started separate return for my daughter, putting her W-2 income on it

At this point, my daughter shows that all her federal withholding will be refunded, which I expect. That said, if I put the 1099-Q onto her return, now it shows a tax due, I think because it is calculating it as a distribution not attributed to college expenses. How do I fix this? Should I just take the 1099-Q off entirely and just file her return to get the refund?
